382: The Bai family’s invitation and Yucheng’s difficulties!

Before returning to Yu City, Fang Ran received an invitation from the Bai Family.

"Inviting me at such a critical moment..." Fang Ran actually didn't want to go.

But now, he had no choice.

As night fell, Fang Ran arrived at the villa garden in a vehicle exclusive to the Bai Family.

As soon as he entered, the two security guards standing by straightened their backs.

Fang Ran, accompanied by Xiao Tian, stepped inside. Their attire made them look like a perfect pair, though Xiao Tian still carried a hint of divinity.

The moment they entered, Fang Ran was met with the gazes of everyone present.

They continuously scrutinized him and the dazzling Xiao Tian beside him.

"Hahaha, Fang Beastmaster, you actually managed to invite him?"

The Bai Family Head laughed as he stepped forward.

Beside him was Bai Ning, dressed in a snow-white gown.

Around her slender, snow-white neck hung an expensive gemstone necklace, and her wrist was adorned with precious ornaments.

Unlike her usual simple style, she was like a peacock displaying its vibrant plumage, showing herself off to everyone.

"I have to say, Senior Bai is even more beautiful now," Fang Ran thought to himself.

Unfortunately, someone was watching from the side, so he didn't dare to make a move.

Otherwise, he would have directly embraced her, using the excuse of maintaining their relationship.

"Bai Ning," Xiao Tian extended her delicate hand.

Bai Ning returned the handshake.

Being held by a King-level made her heart pound a little.

Fortunately, Xiao Tian only gave a light squeeze before standing by Fang's side, shoulder to shoulder.

"I heard that President Bai is arranging for you to guard Yu City?" the Bai Family Head inquired.

"That's right," Fang Ran nodded.

He immediately understood why he had been invited.

However, the Bai Family Head probably wasn't qualified to host such an occasion; everyone here was King-level.

Perhaps it was because Bai Ning had a good relationship with him that the Bai Family sent her to receive him.

"Haha, my Bai Family has prepared some resources that can be used to aid Yu City. I heard that my daughter has a good relationship with you, so you should interact more often," the Bai Family Head said with a smile.

Bai Ning smiled faintly, and Fang Ran looked back with a smile.

These small gestures naturally fell into everyone's eyes.

Xiao Tian, on the other hand, maintained a calm and normal expression.

"The Beast Tamer present today are from all corners of the land, all elites from various provinces and cities. They are all here to meet you," the Bai Family Head said.

Fang Ran nodded, then looked at the crowd and said, "I believe you are already aware of the recent events."

"This is both a challenge and an opportunity for us human Beast Tamer."

His words plunged everyone into silence.

Everyone eagerly looked forward, listening to Fang Ran's words.

Many were stirred and their hearts swelled with emotion by his speech.

A moment later, he was invited into a private room by the Bai Family Head.

"Fang Ran, what do you think of my daughter?" he asked with a smile.

"Senior Bai is very gentle and beautiful."

Fang Ran's words made Bai Ning's hands involuntarily clench the corner of her dress, and her throat moved.

"I'll be direct. The Bai Family intends to bring the two of you together. You're not young anymore," the Bai Family Head said.

"The two of you have appeared in public many times already. Why not make it a done deal? Of course, my Bai Family will certainly not mistreat you. How about a betrothal gift of two billion?"

Good heavens, they want to give me a betrothal gift in return?

Fang Ran was stunned, feeling a little surreal.

He subconsciously glanced at Xiao Tian beside him; her expression was indeed as usual.

But the less reaction she showed, the more a storm brewed deep inside, planning how to deal with him later.

"Uh... I..." Fang Ran swallowed.

Under the lights, the slightly shy Bai Ning was the opposite of her previous aloofness.

She was like a beautifully dressed, tempting fruit, with "ready for the picking" written all over her.

Unfortunately, a Sword of Damocles hung over his head.

Although he couldn't marry the sword, the sword also wouldn't let him marry anyone else.

But the sword couldn't speak, it just hung there, making him afraid to say anything.

"Haha, I understand. It's not convenient right now, is it? Then just continue to pretend to be in a relationship," the Bai Family Head said, seeing that things weren't working out, immediately activating Plan B. "I've prepared a room for you tonight. You just need to stay in there for one night, of course, just for the sake of acting."

"Alright then, but I have to go to Yu City tonight."

Fang Ran replied.

The situation in Yu City was probably critical.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be asked to rush back so urgently.

Bai Ning showed a hint of imperceptible disappointment, then breathed a sigh of relief; she was still a little scared if it really came to that.

At night, Fang Ran and Xiao Tian stood on the back of the Azure Dragon.

The two sped towards Yu City.

"Shall we go to the Angel Race?" Xiao Tian murmured.

"Of course we should go," Fang Ran replied.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Tian then said, "The Angel Race allows humans and Angels to marry, but humans do not."

"Hmm... Hmm? It's just an identity, why bother with it."

"Hmph, alright then, according to the laws of Dragon Country, if you don't marry, don't touch me again."

To Xiao Tian's words, Fang Ran only responded with a chuckle.

Every time, he never sought Xiao Tian's consent.

......

At the same time, Yu City.

Facing the invasion of fierce beasts, the entire city was under martial law.

The number of fierce beasts was extremely large, and with their overall numbers increasing, they were much stronger than human Beast Tamer!

And in Yu City, with no resources, the number of Extraordinary Beast Tamers born was extremely small; Xu Yue could only be considered one of them.

"With King-level fierce beasts invading, we probably can't hold out!"

"The fierce beasts outside Yu City have already reached Monarch Mid-stage, and the people in the surrounding villages have already been evacuated!"

"Have the inspectors sent by the Beast Taming Association not arrived yet?"

Everyone's faces were grim and unsightly.

Xu Yue could only comfort them, "Don't panic, at least we have temporarily stabilized the situation."

"Those fierce beasts don't know that Old Shen is not in Yu City."

Some small cities had already disappeared at the beginning of the beast tide outbreak.

Compared to them, Yu City was already considered one of the luckier ones!

"How are the fierce beasts on the outskirts being dealt with?" Xu Yue inquired.

With Old Shen absent, it was she and the Beast Taming Association President who were in control of Yu City.

Now, she had also advanced to Transcendent-level with the world's revival.

"The number of casualties in the villages is still increasing dramatically. There aren't enough Transcendent Beast Tamer, but there are too many fierce beasts!"

"Yes, some of those villages also had evolution fruit trees planted, and those trees, as the world evolved, attracted a large number of fierce beasts!"

"Three of our Beast Taming Army's main Beast Tamer have already died!"

All this intelligence pointed to one thing: the outskirts of Yu City were about to fall.

And once Transcendent-level fierce beasts entered the city, it would inevitably expose Yu City's outward strength but inner weakness!

"I'll go! Let me go to the front lines!"

Shen Yun rushed into the war room, volunteering.

"My Fire Butterfly has already advanced to Transcendent Mid-Stage and can easily handle them!" Her eyes were firm, no longer showing the gentleness and arrogance of a pampered young lady she once had.
